A-Rod gives apology but no explanation ahead of returnhttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3363296-a-rod-apology-explanation-ahead-return.html
NEW YORK (AP) — It appears the only place Alex Rodriguez might detail his drug use is on a witness stand.
The ever controversial New York Yankees star decided against holding a news conference ahead of his return to the team following a one-year absence. He issued a vague five-paragraph handwritten apology Tuesday "for the mistakes that led to my suspensi...Wed, 18 Feb 2015 02:14:52 GMThttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3363296-a-rod-apology-explanation-ahead-return.html2015-02-18T02:14:52ZAlex Rodriguez meets with Yankees, apologizes for actionshttp://www.mail.com/entertainment/celebrity/3350380-alex-rodriguez-meets-with-yankees-apologizes-actions.html
NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez met with top New York Yankees officials on Tuesday and apologized to the team as he prepares to report to spring training following his season-long suspension for violations of baseball's drug agreement and labor contract.
A joint statement from the Yankees and Rodriguez said the 39-year-old met at Yankee Stadium with owner ...Tue, 10 Feb 2015 23:41:13 GMThttp://www.mail.com/entertainment/celebrity/3350380-alex-rodriguez-meets-with-yankees-apologizes-actions.html2015-02-10T23:41:13ZYanks thinking of not making $6M payment to A-Rodhttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3323138-yanks-thinking-making-6m-payment-to-a-rod.html
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees are thinking about not making a $6 million payment to Alex Rodriguez if he hits six home runs and ties Willie Mays at 660 for fourth place on the career list.
Rodriguez signed a $275 million, 10-year contract with the team in December 2007 and a separate marketing agreement that called for $6 million payments for up to...Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:33:58 GMThttp://www.mail.com/sports/baseball/3323138-yanks-thinking-making-6m-payment-to-a-rod.html2015-01-27T15:33:58ZChicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks dies at 83http://www.mail.com/entertainment/celebrity/3318612-chicago-cubs-hall-famer-ernie-banks-dies-83.html
Even as the Chicago Cubs lost one game after another, Ernie Banks never lost hope.
That was the charm of "Mr. Cub." Banks, the Hall of Fame slugger and two-time MVP who always maintained his boundless enthusiasm for baseball despite decades of playing on miserable teams, died Friday night. He was 83.

We've come a long way since Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were banned from baseball for associating with gamblers — not betting on games or tipping them off about injuries, but by shaking their hands as Atlantic City casino greeters.

EASLEY, S.C. (AP) — Alvin Dark, a player and manager on World Series champions who sparked perhaps the most famous rally in baseball history, died Thursday. He was 92.
The Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, South Carolina, said Dark died at his home. Dark was the 1948 Rookie of the Year and a three-time All-Star shortstop.

MIAMI (AP) — The U.S. government says New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez gave his cousin nearly $1 million last year to keep secret Rodriguez's use of performance enhancing drugs.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco became the Valley of the Giants for the third time in five years Friday as hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets for a confetti and rain-soaked parade honoring the World Series champions.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Buster Posey was annoyed. Playfully so. The Giants catcher wanted Madison Bumgarner to do more than barely break a smile after a brilliant pitching performance put San Francisco one win from another World Series title.
No way, Buster. Because in this postseason full of stars and surprises, who knows?

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals seemed headed for a tough loss, the Philadelphia Eagles a big road victory.
Then rookie John Brown made that over-the-shoulder reception — "a Willie Mays catch," coach Bruce Arians said — on a 75-yard touchdown play and the Cardinals stunned the Eagles 24-20 on Sunday.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals under coach Bruce Arians do not play it safe.
When most teams would have just thrown for the necessary yards to get a first down, the Cardinals went for it all — and got it.

Delmon Young is a power hitter without much speed. Terrance Gore can breeze around the bases — but he might never be good enough with the bat to play consistently at the major league level.
